This is a Porsche 911 restoration that was abandoned in 1994 after being converted to a race car. My plan is a twin turbo Subaru EZ30 porsche engine swap with 400+ HP to the wheels. Stay tuned.
That oil filter is gonna get COOKED that close to the headers. Use a low profile filter relocation kit and i would still either wrap the header or mount a heat shield.
This kit is so well engineered! But I have to echo that one comment about the oil filter being danger close to the header. I would go with a simple oil filter relocation kit with the stainless steel AN lines that should fix the issue and give you an opportunity to design a custom bracket using SCS to incorporate your logo!
As bad as the oil filter getting cooked, it didn't look like it could be taken off easily. And remember, typically you do an oil change on a warm/hot engine
Keep going Michael. Love to see progress.
Thanks for the link to your videos. Following from the Facebook h6 group
Well done here man, I am enjoying your content a lot - good luck.
Yeah probably a good idea to get an oil filter relocation kit. The oil filter is perilously close to the header.
Go light. Very light with the rtv. Maybe the thickness of a quarter. Less is more.
I would totally make a template out of rigid plastic with the torque order for that timing cover.
Love your works and progress.....very cool. 👍🤓👍
Brilliant Episode, Thanks!
Personally, even though there are TON of bolts for the timing cover, I would start them by hand.
Was taught by a tech never to use power tools to start bolts as you could cross thread them and you're into a world of trouble.
This is awesome! I would love to do a project like this. Well done
Very interesting build. Naturally aspirated EZ36 from the 3.6R with raptor headers ($330usd) plus 91+ octane tune is more reliable, less expensive and makes over 300hp. Stock ecus are robust if you want to cut cost there too. The sump lacks adequate baffling and is the main reason why EZ swapped track cars see rod bearing failures. Rod bearings are smaller, these blocks are the same size as the 4 cylinder EJs after all... Reliable and strong motor's if done right.
Looks amazing!
Nice work Mike
Would be interested in a kit for a 914 GT widebody , currently having all rust removed with engine out
"I've added a Torque Solution Thermal Oil Filter Blanket to help protect my filter on my STI from the heat of aftermarket headers. If you don't do a relocation.
That’s a LOT of permatex. The issue isn’t what spooges out, the issue is what can spooge in.
Can it fall into the oil and work its way into an oil screen or oil passage?
you should use an inch pound torque wrench
4.7 ft lbs = 56.4 in lbs. My exact thought.
K24 Turbo swap kit next please...
Can you remove and install the oil filter with the headers installed? Looks very close in the video.
I don't think so. I will say that down the road that I will probably end up designing some headers from scratch that enable that, but this one you're probably gonna have to pull the seven nuts or at least loosen them up a little bit so you have a little more room.
Oil filter relocation kit?
Yea that would be a good solution.
@@rennch.pretty universal kits out there not too expensive will be a better solution for you, leave the headers as they are 👍
This is a crazy question but would this fit in a Karmann Ghia?
Yea, it's been done!
I’m building one at the moment with a Subaru 5speed aswell they do fit it’s a tight fit and you have to trim a lot 👍
@uberkooledgarage cable shift/hydraulic?
@@rennch. hydraulic is the way to go!! 5/8” hydro is the perfect size any bigger and you can’t press the pedal 👌
Header running by that oil filter going to create an oil heat issue?
Hi Mike have you sold any yet ? What do they cost ? Do make a profit ? Keep up the good work ...
Question? Is there enough room to spin the oil filter off without taking the header off? It looks really tight on the vid? Great vid as usual really look forward to them thanks for taking the time and sharing. 👍
I don't see bungs for O2 sensors.
This is awesome! How do I buy one?
You DM me and we have a conversation and then I share that information.

I've been following this for a while and one thing stands out to me. Knowing how Porsche owners, especially those with older cars are, I can't see anyone wanting to do this. Who is going to buy an older Porsche with a not made by them engine. They rebel when the headlights are changed, or recently when 4 cylinder engines were used on the newest models. Of course there's always the Outlaw movement, so maybe...
Well, then you'd be shocked. I'm not sure if you've priced a Porsche engine or rebuild in the last few years but it's $40,000 plus.…
There’s a lot of cars out there without an engine or with non-number matching engines. Those would be good candidates for this swap. Those with original engines sometimes swap engines but keep the original because a lot of value is placed on numbers matching. Honestly- air cooled engines are a it or a pain- Porsche engines from 68-77 had magnesium cases that usually need thousands of dollars worth of machine work- that’s just getting started - parts are stupid expensive now. And some air cooled engines aren’t great when compared to modern fuel injected engines. A lot of guys with 911s got them when they were inexpensive and parts were equally inexpensive. Nowadays the Porsche (and parts) have gone apeshit and not really attainable to many. This is why you are starting to see previously unloved models like the 914, 944 etc- starting the gain popularity. A nice swap with a fairly stock body appearance would be a nice car for many.
👏👍🏻🍺
I'm not so sure I would pay the kind of money you're going to ask when you put a bolt in a piece of hose with a hose clamp. Something like an A/N cap or just weld it up and be done with it. A hose with a bolt is jankie carport kid stuff. I've been watching this and really thinking that this would be cool to do on a 356A Speedster kit. Please don't take the easy way out on this.
I appreciate the feedback, but I wanna leave it really easy to put a hose on in case they have turbos.
Did you say eleven? 11:22
Yup
